It’s that time of the year when we get our Masters applications in with the hope of also winning a Scholarship. But do we really know all the scholarships that are available to us? Do we also know the Universities that offer scholarships?
Below I have compiled a list of UK universities offering scholarships for Postgraduate Taught Masters programmes for Nigerians (I believe most of these links will apply to other African countries too). Following each University title are links to various scholarships on offer. Some links take you straight to the scholarship page. Some take you straight to the database where you can use the search option to narrow your results.
If you’re yet to apply for Masters and are still trying to decide, you can use the list below to narrow down your University choices. You could also use the link below to know the rating of the University for your chosen field.
